Did you use a Kohler brand piston, or aftermarket? Run ito any problems with the rebuild?

I used only Kohler parts. Kohler parts do cost do cost a little more....the quality is better.....worth it in my book.
The 70 was used to help pay off a morgage. It was ran hard during the early years of it's life. I plan to work it some...not as hard as it was worked.
The motor throw a rod sometime in it's life. You could tell where the side of the block was repaired. The crank journal was still factory size. The only odd think I found was the cam lobe that opens the points had some major wear on it.
I replaced the following parts:
piston and rings
connecting rod
points plunger rod
valve guides
valves
head bolts
governor gear-it was a plastic one
gaskets and seals
The machine shop orders the parts for me. They have a good source plus they give me break ($$$) on parts.
